Seems anytime I ever see another shirt, I'm not wearing my own.
I will try to say a few words to Shels fans, though, even when not wearing the colours.

I haven't looked under the hem of my top in years!
Because if Gabriel doesn't rollerblade to the Chelsea Piers then the terrorists have truly won.
you never know what you might find!
Always make a point of giggling when I pass someone in a Shels top. They know whats its for too...
As far others, it depends how recently we played them, and what the result was. A group of Pats fan used to play astro on the pitch nest to a group of Rovers fans in Tallaght and we'd always have a bit of banter

I never acknowledge other el fans on the street. I am secretly happy that there are others out there who are proud to wear el jerseys in the street but they're still random people.

There are only two types of EL fans available to acknowledge anyway :
1) Those who support the Candystripes.
2) Those who secretly wish they could/did.....
I have just acknowledged both sets in this post.

I'm a bit of a collector. I have a few from different clubs. I rarely wear them, but on one occasion I was walking through the Cork city wearing my Dublin City jersey, when I was spotted by a well known Cork City fan. I was met by a bemused stare.

I always acknowledge fellow LoI supporters where ever I meet 'em. In my last job I had to travel around the country a lot on building sites and I'd often bump into followers of different clubs and I'd always have a natter with them. Being from a s hit little kip of a town I'm kinda delighted to be able to actually talk to someone about football (can't do that with the barstoolers for the obvious reason). And (he says haughtily) sometimes I think we LoI supporters are better that everyone else.
It's just us Limerick fans Woody, just us Limerick fans.

I have travelled a lot the past few years and no matter where I'm going I have at least 6 Derry City shirts or shorts packed. They are usually the only tops etc, I wear during the day as it's only warm climates I go to.
So last summer I was in the west coast of USA and passed a guy wearing a Shamrock Rvrs top in Disneyworld, I smiled as he passed but I don't think he saw me as he was roaring at one of his kids at the time.
Then a week later we went to Alcatraz and both me and the other half were both wearing our proper replica shirts and as we stepped of the boat a guy with an american kind of twang came up and said "boyo but you's are chit this year!
Yip, he was a Cork fan who's been living in San fran for 15 years. He was showing visitors he had around, but we got into a good conversation as the 3 of us ignored everyone else with us.
He took a couple of good photos of us at the Alcatraz sign which I use for my photo profile in my BEBO.
But it's things like that which stands out
Another story was when we where playing Newcastle Utd in the final in Dublin in '97 me and a mate were totally wrecked after beating Celtic the night before.
We were walking up Grafton St when two wee women about 70 turned and said to us "good luck tonight lads"......that really helped build our spirits up and we still talk about it any time we meet up.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
I do see some Ramblers jerseys around alright. We'll probably be seeing more of them when their new jersey eventually becomes available to buy.

She's only an 'nth' degree better than the bar-stooling w@nkers in Ireland, to be fair.
Starting supporting Ireland because Manb United's captain at the time was Roy Keane. Cringeworthy stuff that the Orientals specialise in.
At least she has some connection with Galway though.
I'll always nod or smile when ever i see a non-Rovers eL merchandise wearing person.I just can't bring myself to acknowledge Rovers fans (I know thats pretty bigoted of me but it's just whenever I see those hoops my attitude changes)and usually get a knowing nod back (or maybe they're thinking "just nod and the strange man grinning at me for no apparent reason and keep walking")
